From a practical standpoint, I understand the reasons to not do this...but DAMN, is that ever some tasty barbeque.

Every agent who participated in this should spend the rest of their life in prison.
I've posted it before and I'LL DO IT AGAIN.
Gods, it's so good. I don't particularly care for the original, but I love this version.

I think I just realized that AI is basically James Cameron talking about Avatar - it's expensive, it ripped off an earlier story, it mostly doesn't work as a product, it's hard to find anyone who likes it, and rich executives are always telling you how great it is because they spent a ton of money on it and need it to be successful, whether or not it's actually good for the world.
I don't know about that, but I will say that great wealth is like the One Ring: Often the person with it thinks they are wielding it, but ultimately it wields them, and for its own ends, not theirs. It takes a strong person to resist its temptations, and that sort of person is not likely to seek it.

I lived the first 3/4ths of my life (so far) in "Upstate" NY, and I endorse this message.

Transmasc paths of transition
LATER, at IHOP -
Waitress: We have the bananas foster pancakes, and that's close, I guess?
Christian: I can't. Jack didn't say anything about fostering. We have to get this right.
Waitress: OK, man.
Waitress (to coworker): Yeah, he said something about Jason Mraz or-
Christian: HOW DARE YOU
and we didn't have to listen to what Charlie Kirk thinks about any of this
Youβve got to love how actress Kelly Marie Tran, one of the most harassed people ever to be on the internet, still leapt up to defend trans people in a recent interview. No one would blame her for keeping her head down and shutting up forever but she will NOT and I admire her for it β
"Do you want me to read it again?"
Three AI executives admitting everyone hates their product this week.
Earlier today, Google search started displaying in AI mode only (desktop). I disabled some things, which didn't work. I factory-reset Chrome, and that did it...for 3 hours. Now it once again will only display searches in AI Mode.
I cannot describe how much I hate this. Anyone encounter before?
@colleenky.bsky.social @cybermudgeon.bsky.social I got all y'all's Happy New Year / update letter - thank you! I did not know most of this, and t'was a joy to see your smiling faces :)
That IS an important issue, Senator, but the President's personal police force just straight-up murdered a woman today, and that was *after* he kidnapped a world leader, stole their resources, and gave the money to himself, so we're KINDA BUSY RIGHT NOW.
one of the things i hate most about this persistent line of argument is the implication that any of these actions would be fine if groceries were cheaper
the president is using the government to harass and kill people living in areas of the country that didnt vote for him
Does he know we can see the clip too
Go make something less awful.
I just picked up some trash in the library parking lot. Will that fix anything? No. But I'm leaving things better than I found them, and that matters. A little.
all this is both foolish and unnecessary
βI know what youβre asking, and I wonβt look away from it."
I know it's a robot and doesn't understand what it's saying, but my Gods. Like many others have - and will, and likely are doing right now - he told that thing he was going to hang himself, and it was like "OK, cool. Sounds great."
reminder that my new album comes out Feb 20th, the first single from it comes out Jan 2nd, and tickets to the album release show are on sale :)

Yeah, man, the only difference between your career and Mark Rufalloβs career is the political stuff.
She wrote this for a toddler obsessed with construction equipment, and it's SO GOOD.

And lying - you're claiming skills and expertise you don't have.
You don't need to read either of her op-eds. This woman didn't care to take the time to write the latest, so why waste time reading it. If she cannot manage to express her own opinions without running them through the Plagiarism and Environmental Destruction Machine, she isn't worth listening to.
